The characteristics of boat waves in Hau Giang province - Vietnam: A case study at Nga Bay town

Abstract

Currently, the Mekong Delta is facing an increasingly serious erosion situation which has a great impact on the lives of people along the banks of canals and rivers. There are many causes of land slides such as indiscriminate sand mining, the erosion speed of soil at the canal bank is lower than the flow erosion rate, the increase in the load along the canal and one of the The most important reason is the waves caused by boats moving. With each type of ship moving will create different types of ship waves will give different wave parameters such as number, speed, cycle, wavelength, aperture of ship waves,... This article will The study of the parameters of the waves generated on the surface by boats moving in the Mekong Delta region creates the case study in Nga Bay town, Hậu Giang province.
